I can listen to my project in both my studio monitors and my headphones. However, I cannot preview files from within the loop browser in my headphone; it will only playback through my monitors.
In a possibly related matter, I cannot listen to an audio track in the sample editor window, when the solo button is enabled.
I do…
Unfortunately I do not have any idea on what soundcard you are using? Control room activated? Separate phones channel in control room? Or phones routing via soundcard mixer…?
Unfortunately I don´t like guessing too much, and obviously you don´t like giving feedback on received answers too much…
Oh man…I’m sorry. I don’t know how that slipped by. I appreciate the response.
Soundcard: motu 8pre
Control room activated - monitor and headphone
So I can monitor from my headphones and studio speakers fine. It’s when I need to preview something within a window where I cannot hear through my headphones only (I can preview through my speakers).
Specifically, in the sample editor I’m working with the VariAudio. When I click on a note I can hear the pitch through the studio speaker, but not my headphones.
Same thing in the Loop Browser. I can preview a loop with my studio speakers, but cannot hear the preview through my headphones.
So that means, you have created a headphone cchannel in your Studio tab of the VST connections, and it is routed to your MOTU´s Headphones output directly…?
If so, then you should set the preferences I mentioned in your other thread already. Activating “Use phones channel for preview” will send preview audio such as variaudio and mediabay / loopbrowswer preview to the control room phones channel.
Though you then won´t be able to hear it via your monitor outs anymore. Though you can put this prefernce to a key command to switch fastly between the two.
